I haven't seen that particular video but that scheme does work. I can't tell you how often I see women leave their purses in their baskets at the grocery store or Costco and walk well away, leaving their purses easy pickings.

ID theft is a massive crime problem and is heavily tied into other criminal enterprises like drug use and sales. In fact, they very often go hand in hand. What's scarier is that I know of cases where offices, particularly doctor's offices, are burglarized and the only thing they take are computers. They don't bother with monitors or other peripherals. They want that goldmine of personal info (DOB's, SSN's, names, addresses, etc.) for ID theft crimes. Frightening!
